Zucchini Bread or Muffins

(Photo above is a muffin version of the recipe below used for my designing healthy desserts course: Served with spiced carrot granola, chai pear sauce, caramel mascarpone cheese, and candied carrot twist)

Last week there was a party at work and someone had made zucchini bread. It looked and smelled so good but sadly I couldn’t taste it. I’ve been looking for fall recipes that include pumpkin, apples, breads, muffins, pies etc. I want warm, tasty comfort fall treats. I plan to make a pumpkin cheesecake soon, but I really wanted to make a bread or muffin this time to have an alternate thing to eat for breakfast.

Add moist ingredient mix to dry ingredient. Stir until well blended. Grease a loaf pan or line 12 cupcake tins and pour mixture into pan or prepared muffin tins. Bake 1 hour at 325 ° for bread or 25 minutes for muffins. Check center for doneness with a toothpick (you should have a little crumb on the toothpick – these are moist muffins). Remove from oven and let cool for a 5 minutes in pan then carefully remove from pan and place on a wire cooling rack to finish the cooling process.

Prepare glaze, which should be a little runny. Drizzle with glaze. Let cool.
